Default A/C recharge

I am trying to recharge the air conditioning on my 2010 Chevy Avalanche LTZ and I have run into a problem. What I think is the low pressure port, I can’t get the quick release on the Freon can to connect. The only other port is attached to the evaporator. Can someone help me identify wher the low pressure port is? I have attached a picture of the compressor lines. Or do I need a special connector?

Which cap is low pressure?

wash the dye off when you are done. if it goes green after washing...you have found the leak point.
